Is it worth it? Is seeing Beauty and the Beast again on the big screen—piling the kids in the car and plunking down the 3-D ticket prices for a movie you own on DVD—worth it? Yeah, probably. Certainly, if you don’t own it, this film is a must-see. The 3-D adds nothing (it actually subtracts), but here is Disney unquestionably at the top of its game. The story is pitch-perfect; the performances are great; and the songs are probably unmatched by any other Disney film since The Jungle Book. It’s a movie for people who love movies made at a time when you could still be confident that Disney loved making them.
